LYRIC QUOTES!!! Oh yeah!

[Dream-=Of-God=-]

Note: "Simple Man" was actually produced and written by Lynyrd Skynyrd; that is only a cover version.

Cut myself open wide
Reach inside
Help yourself
To all I have to give
And then you help yourself again
And then complain that
You didn't like the way
I put the knife in wrong
You didn't like the way
My blood spilled on your brand new floor

What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

Sacrifice my life
Neglect my kids and wife
All for you to be happy
All those sleepless nights
And countless fights to give you more
And then you say how dare that
I didn't write you back
I must be too good for you
I only care about myself

What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

Dream Theater's "Never Enough"

[Skater-=Of-God=-]

And I know
as they hammered those nails into your beautiful hands
your eyes they try to search for mine, but I look away...


Blindside: Pitiful

One of my favorite bands.

[Hunter-=Of-God=- (Paul)]

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me to depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace


Charitie Bancroft. Sonic Flood does a great version of this song.

[andrewbuddy12]

this is a funny song by Johnny Cash. hehe.

The One On The Right Is On The Left

There once was a musical troupe
A pickin' singin' folk group
They sang the mountain ballads
And the folk songs of our land

They were long on musical ability
Folks thought they would go far
But political incompatibility led to their downfall

Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
Singing the traditional ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They performed with great virtuosity
And soon they were the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

Well the curtain had ascended
A hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear The folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously
They had a free-for-all

Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear, said, "Oh dear"

Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction
Play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourself

Now, the one on the left works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The one on the right's an all-night deejay
And the guy in the rear got drafted

[Dream-=Of-God=-]

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
As I turned to you
You smiled at me
How could we say no?

With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Whoa the songs to sing
When we at last return again

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil is in his hole

Oh, to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh, to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah!

Into the sun, the south, the north
Lies the first of hope
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground

Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh out loud
Dancing as we fought the crowd

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone

If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah!

Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow
Oh, the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh, Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

Wondering and wondering
What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the Heavens from the Earth

The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the Heavens from the Earth

From the Earth...

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way

Well, the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the Heavens from the Earth

My kind of thread! :]

"The Road To Jericho Is Lined With Starving People"
By a little band called "This Providence"


There's a man on the side of the road.
Left for dead.
People passing by turn their head.
There's a man on the side of the road to Jericho.
Needs a friend.
Oh we all could use a little more loving.
Couldn't we?
So c'mon love.
Give your love away with me.

Hold nothing back.
Like you've nothing to lose.
Love with all you have.
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you.

There's a man on his way to a church.
Avoids the eyes of a dying soul.
He just turns his head.
There's a child on the side of the road to Jericho.
Needs a friend.
Oh we all could do a little more loving.
Wouldn't you agree?
So c'mon love.
Give your love away with me.

Hold nothing back.
Like you've nothing to lose
Love with all you have.
Like you don't have a clue what it's costing you.

If loving were easy it wouldn't be love.
Oh will you give your love away?
If loving were easy it wouldn't be love.
I'm gonna give away love.
Will you give your love away?

Good song, good band I like the meaning of the lyrics - This Providence - Check em' out

[{CS}Col.Knight (David)]

this is one of my favorite song

Wait by Everyday Sunday

You’re rushing, doing everything anything on the verge. Not even thinking about what if you’re doing is absurd. I don’t mean to be the one to cut in, but you might want to stop and think about what you’re doing. Here we go, everybody in the house one time, everybody get up with their rhyme and the times and the lines, and everybody says it, everybody goes and everybody plays it…what, and everybody says you’re front, and everybody says you go with your flow, and everybody knows, everybody sings, and everybody brings…Have fun go ahead, do anything instead. You can do what you want if it looks fun. But God is in control of the route and that is what it’s all about. Movin' in a van, so what we are a band, now you gotta get up, get the lights shining and jumping on your feet, we’ll hit you with a beat, let’s move for He has given us everything. There isn’t a time, a place you can be, not a place in your face that you cannot see, back up your face are you talking, yea, I said it’s grace, He will be with me every place. And why now, everybody says it, why now, and everybody says you go with your flow and everybody knows, and everybody sings and everybody brings it. You go and everybody says it, you go and everybody throws it, you go and everybody fakes it one time, and everybody shows it, one time and everybody throws it, one time and everybody goes it, one time and everybody blows it. Here we go, come on. Come on man tell me what you were thinking, doing everything with a selfish reason. I didn’t meant to be the one to cut in, but you gotta stop and think about what you’re doing. You sang your song way out of tune, so step off now and let it loose, I’m not gonna do it your way! I’m doing it for God, so I’m here today. Everybody goes and everybody knows, everybody sings and everybody brings. Bring it on, bring it on this time, everybody sets it up with their rhyme, But now, everybody says somehow, and everybody says you go with your flow and everybody knows and everybody sings, and everybody brings it.

Casting Crowns - Stained Glass Masquerade Lyrics


Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the heart again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

[Peace-=Of-God=-]

Great song, Doc -- that's one of my favorite CC songs (I've seen them in concert twice, and enjoyed it immensely). On my Yamaha a couple of days ago, I played a set with Steven Curtis Chapman's "For Who He Really Is" and Casting Crowns' "If We Are the Body" and "Stained Glass Masquerade" -- powerful stuff . "If We Are the Body" is still pretty popular now, and most people know of it ... so I'll just share the words of "For Who He Really Is":

"Too many hypocrites," I heard her say, "I even saw it in the headlines today;
  How can I follow God when His own people turn away?
Nobody's perfect, but I just want to see somebody livin' what they say they believe;
  If they've got what this world needs like they say,
   I wonder why won't they give some away?"

      Will she see God for Who He really is in what she sees in you and me?
       Will she see God for Who He really is?
        For Who He really is, is all she really needs to see!

He slips into church, and he puts up his guard; they look so happy, but his life's been so hard.
 He keeps his distance, so they won't see his scars.
It's just religion that's all dressed up in white, and "God is love as long as you're living right" --
 But does he know that Jesus also has scars,
  And His love can reach him, no matter how far?

      Will he see God for Who He really is in what he sees in you and me?
       Will he see God for Who He really is?
        For Who He really is, is all he really needs to see!

The skeptics are watching to see who will fall,
  While those disillusioned search for the truth in it all;
 Maybe today, we'll cross their paths unawares,
  And they'll stop and look at us -- what will be there?

      Will they see God for Who He really is in what they see in you and me?
       Will they see God for Who He really is?
        For Who He really is, is all they really need to see!

My All-time Fav for Christian songs so far, is "Voice of Truth" by CC, and I too have seen them in concert, went for my Birthday last year.. it was awesome. This song ministers to me more each time i Hear it, It has strengthened me more than I can say, as the Lord Speaks through it to my heart. God bless it, and I hope someone can get the same thing i can out of it.

"Voice of Truth" By Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes
to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
On top of them lookin' down
I soar with the wings of EAGLES
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe-

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you, you are-

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps

I may never get over
but never's better than now
I've got bases to cover

He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out
He lights a cigarette
and turns the music down
but just can't seem to shake that sound

Once I thought I'd get over
but it's too late for me now
I've got bases to cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

The pain inside
coming outside

So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him down
Some are fast and some take years and years
Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but he's in too deep

I could never get over
Is it too late for me now?
Feel like blowing my cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

But don't cut your losses too soon
'cause you'll only be cutting your hope
And answer a call while you still hear at all
'cause nobody will if you won't

Song: So Far Away Lyrics

This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’d never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here its so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing ok
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before

Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

(chorus)


Nice relaxing song

[Humbled]

Every time I hear this song, I almost stop whatever I'm doing and sing at the top of my lungs, (except when Driving)

"You Reign"
by 4Him
Long before you ever said
“Let there be light”
To long after this world has had
Its’ final night
Great god in heaven you’ll be
Where You’ve always been
Seated on your holy throne
King of all kings
Looking down on men

Chorus:
You are ruler above all the nations
Sovereign through all generations
Lord you reign
One day
All kings will tremble before you
I will bow down to adore you
Lord you reign

Morning and night the sky shouts
Your majesty
Saying the whole universe
Is under your feet
This is the peace in my heart
The strength of my soul
Whatever happens in life
This much I know
You are in control

Chorus

[Peace-=Of-God=-]

Great song, Brad -- I love that anthem! And I love to follow it up with this one by Brenton Brown:

 Over all the earth, You reign on high ... Every mountain stream, every sunset sky --
  But my one request, Lord, my only aim is that You'd reign in me again.

 Over every thought, over every word; may my life reflect the beauty of my Lord,
  'Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing -- so won't You reign in me again?

     Lord, reign in me, reign in Your power, over all my dreams, in my darkest hour;
      You are the Lord of all I am -- so won't You reign in me again?

[Humbled]

Yeah I'm sitting here at work (IT helpdesk...) Humming that song inbeetwen calls yay!

"Undo" by Rush Of Fools (www.myspace.com/rushoffools)

I’ve been here before
Now, here I am again
Standing at the door
Praying You’ll let me back in

To label me
A prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I’ve been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one
Who can undo what I’ve become

I focused on the score
But I could never win
Trying to ignore
A life of hiding my sin

To label me
A hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I’ve been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one
Who can undo what I’ve become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
You are the only one who can undo
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become
